Comments on: A Vacation From Search? Hardly! http://www.ysearchblog.com/2004/09/09/a-vacation-from-search-hardly/ Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:49:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Lou Scott http://www.ysearchblog.com/2004/09/09/a-vacation-from-search-hardly/comment-page-1/#comment-174 Lou Scott Sun, 27 Mar 2005 00:24:36 +0000 http://ysearchblog.com/blog/2004/09/09/a-vacation-from-search-hardly/#comment-174 I have several Yahoo photo albums and have recently (2 weeks ago and again yesterday) started receiving the following message when attempting to add photos or do any type of editing or downloading to albums under any of my screen names. "This page is currently unavailable.... Unfortunately, we are unable to process your request at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please try again later. .... Return to Yahoo!" "error #999" This occurred while I was downloading several photos to an album which was not completed. Yahoo tech support was unable to help. I ran all protection programs and nothing was detected. I also tried shutting down firewalls, virus protection, anti-spy and adware and cleared files, cookies, and history without success. Using other browsers was also unsuccessful. I believe the problem was "fixed" 2 weeks ago due to time... how sneaky of Yahoo. It does appear Yahoo is monitoring and limiting usage although I still have access to other services (email) they will not allow me to upload more photos until the time limit??? is up. One tech told me there was a "limited amount of space available per screen name" which is not the case but the "quantity" of usage over a period of time seems to be the answer.

I found out that Yahoo blocks IPs to control traffic but it is so annoying! Apparently normal human usage of the y! services shouldn't have caused this, but because I recieve a lot of e-mail I had to log on twice daily to keep up. That hardly sounds 'abnormal' though. The block is from anywhere between 2 - 24 hours, and the block also keeps renewing itself daily. My solution was to just switch to another mail provider.

Don't know why Yahoo wouldn't be able to recognize the IP for a public library system, but it's more than a little frustrating for such a giant as Yahoo to block out so many people whose only access to their email is through a public county library system. What help can you provide if any? Seems the “999 error” has been going on for several days here in “the OC” public library system.

It seems they only allow a certain amount of traffic per time period per IP address. See <a href="http://pgoffline.com/forum/index.php?board=5;action=display;threadid=17;start=0" rel="nofollow">http://pgoffline.com/forum/index.php?board=5;action=display;threadid=17;start=0</a> for a lot of info on this issue.
